December 2nd is GivingTuesday!❤

🤝GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: A day that encourages people to do good. Over 13 years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires millions of people to donate, volunteer, and spread awareness.

🤝NAMI Missouri is committed to providing support, education, and advocacy in every corner of the state. Every contribution, large or small, helps sustain mental health programs that change lives and ensures that the people of Missouri continue to have access to resources, guidance, and hope. If you plan to include NAMI Missouri this GivingTuesday, you can donate at: namimissouri.org/donate

🤝All NAMI Missouri programs and services are offered free of charge. We could not do this important work without the generosity of our members, volunteers and supporters. Help us help others by getting involved in our fundraising efforts. Visit our Fundraising page to learn more on how you can help: namimissouri.org/fundrasing

Thank you for standing with us❤

Do you want to learn to tell your family's story?

Register now for NAMI Smarts for Advocacy. NAMI Smarts for Advocacy is a hands-on advocacy training program that helps people with mental illness, friends and family transform their passion and lived experience into grassroots advocacy.

About: This session will focus on Telling Your Story, the foundation module in NAMI’s grassroots advocacy training series. We’ll talk about why advocacy for mental health care is so important and the power of your story to influence others. Then, we’ll guide you through writing your own powerful story in seven short steps. When you leave this training, our goal is that you take with you a version of your story that you can use to raise awareness, to inspire others and, above all, to influence policymakers.

NAMI Smarts for Advocacy Sessions are available virtually on 3 separate dates and times (weekday evening, weekday, and weekend) to try to accommodate as many schedules as possible:

-Thurs. Dec 11, 2025 @6:30pm-8:00pm
